6 hours.
I spent 6 hours on this postcard. So now you'll be getting a description of what that entailed.
From thinking of the idea; a book cover, title and background -- to sketching out each piece; tiny tiny buildings with windows, doors, roofs, and layering them to fit this 3.5 in x 5.5 in card. Along with a sea side, beach, and mountain landscape. Also, writing each letter in a specific font style, making sure they're large enough, readable, anddd the letters are straight. And then using a paintbrush to color each specific detail, and thenn going over all of it again with a fine line marker.
Phew. This card for a friend I've known for 11 years now. She turns 31 tomorrow. She lives in Italy, so, technically it's her birthday now.
It's says "Libro 31, Una Donna serie Non Rilegata,
Lo Scandolo Genovese"
Which in English, "Book 31, A Woman Unbound series
The Genovese Scandal"
This is the dedication, love, and work I put into any card I make.
